Hi all,

I am very new to ELK stack and I have the following requirement. I need to create a vertical bar visualization with two metrics (assume metricA and metricB). I have a common condition (a string) which can divide these two (assume the condition as conditionC : "True"). I tried this by adding a JSON input, but it did not work. So I need to know that can this requirement be successfully implemented from a vertical bar visualization? Following is the JSON input that I have used.  
{  
"script": {  
"type":"string",  
"inline": "doc['conditionA'].value='True'",  
"lang": "painless"  
}  
}

@Shan_Chathusanda I'm not sure if I understood the question correctly, but sounds to me that what you want is to split series with a filters aggregation where you can select the correct KQL filter to apply. Have you tried that?

Hi @tiagocosta  
I will clarify it like this. Think there are two metrics (Actually there are 2 Y-axis). I need those two metrics to be filtered in individual filters. One filter cannot affect to other metric values. The point I was going to provide is that do we can use the JSON input field of Kibana visualization to do this requirement. Hope you understand my requirement.  
Regards.
